2 Wheel Scooters
Shop 2 wheel scooters from ROOT INDUSTRIES and I-GLIDE — stocked and dispatching to every Australian address. This range covers first-time riders aged 3 upwards, school-run commuters, and adults covering daily kilometres.
A children’s 2 wheel scooter — also sold as a scooter bike or 2 wheeler scooter, runs one wheel at the front and one at the rear. That layout builds balance and steering control faster than a three-wheel deck, and it stays the right size for years longer. Every two wheel scooter in this range is kick-powered, so there is nothing to charge and nothing to register.

Frequently Asked Questions About 2 Wheeler Scooters
Most orders leave the Xchange Sports warehouse within one business day of purchase.

A 4 year old needs a 2 wheel scooter with a deck at least 13 cm wide and handlebars reaching below 60 cm at minimum height. Keep total weight under 2 kg — toddlers carry and park their own scooter on every outing. Flat driveways and smooth footpaths are the right surface before coordination fully develops.
The ROOT INDUSTRIES Type R Mini is the best fit for most 6 year olds. Its 4.5-inch aluminium deck, adjustable handlebars spanning 65–85 cm, and sub-2.5 kg weight suit a daily school-run footpath. The rear brake is easy to reach and responds cleanly on first contact.
ROOT INDUSTRIES and I-GLIDE scooters arrive near-complete in the box. A single 4 mm Allen key handles the handlebar height adjustment — that is the only step before riding. Most riders are outside within ten minutes of opening the parcel.
It depends on whether your child has found their balance yet. A children's 2 wheel scooter suits riders from about four or five who can already walk and run confidently, and it teaches the balance and counter-steering that transfer straight to a pedal bike. A three wheel scooter stays upright on its own, which suits a two to four year old on their first ride. If your child already rides a balance bike, start them on two wheels.
Most 5 year olds fit the ROOT INDUSTRIES Type R Mini. Its handlebars adjust between 65 and 85 cm, so it sets low enough for a smaller five year old and still fits the same child at seven or eight. The 4.5-inch deck gives both feet room during a push-off, and the sub-2.5 kg weight means your child can carry it up a kerb or into a classroom without help.
No, provided the handlebars adjust. Every 2 wheel scooter in this range has height-adjustable bars, which is what gives a well-chosen scooter four to six years of use rather than one season. Choose on deck width and minimum bar height for the child you have now — the maximum bar height covers the growth. A three wheel scooter, by contrast, is usually outgrown within two to three years.
Xchange Sports runs a 30-day "Love your Ride" money-back guarantee. If the fit is wrong for your rider, contact the team and arrange a return or exchange within 30 days of delivery. Keeping the original packaging makes the swap faster. Every order also ships at a flat rate Australia-wide, so there is no distance penalty on the exchange.
Yes. A certified helmet is essential from the first ride, and knee pads and wrist guards are strongly recommended while your child is still building braking and balance control. Xchange Sports stocks scooter helmets and protective gear sized for children, and everything ships together with the scooter in one flat-rate delivery.

Which 2 Wheel Scooter Fits Your Rider Right Now?
Match deck width and handlebar height to your child’s age and build before you buy.Deck width, adjustable handlebar height, and wheel size each change how a scooter handles. A frame too tall or a deck too narrow creates balance problems from the first ride. Use this age-to-spec framework to find the right fit now.Height and confidence decide the fit, not the colourway, the same model suits a boy or a girl of the same build.- Ages 3–4: Look for a kids 2 wheel scooter with a 13 cm-wide deck and handlebars below 60 cm at minimum height. Total weight under 2 kg matters, toddlers park and carry their own scooter constantly. Flat driveways and smooth footpaths are the right surface at this stage.
- Ages 5–7: The ROOT INDUSTRIES Type R Mini suits most riders in this bracket. Its 4.5-inch aluminium deck, adjustable handlebars spanning 65–85 cm, and sub-2.5 kg build handle a school-run footpath daily. The rear brake sits within easy reach and responds cleanly on first contact.
- Ages 8–12:The ROOT INDUSTRIES Type R PRO runs a 4.75-inch deck, 110 mm CNC-machined wheels, and IHC sealed compression. It handles footpath commutes five days a week and skatepark sessions on weekends. Riders of 9, 10 and 11 sit squarely in this bracket, and it does not need replacing when your child gets serious about progression.
- Ages 12 and up: I-GLIDE commuter scooters run 200 mm polyurethane wheels on a fold-flat deck with padded ergonomic grips. They support riders up to 100 kg. Teens stepping up from a kids 2 wheel scooter and adults covering 3–8 km daily both land on the I-GLIDE.
Children’s 2 Wheel Scooter vs 3 Wheel Scooter — Which Suits Your Child?
The wheel count changes what your child learns and how long the scooter lasts. Three wheels hold themselves upright, so a toddler can push off on day one. Two wheels demand that the rider find their own balance, which is the skill that transfers straight to a pedal bike.| Children’s 2 wheel scooter | 3 wheel scooter | |
| Best starting age | 4 to 5, once walking is confident | 2 to 4 |
| Learning curve | Two to three sessions to find balance | Rideable in minutes |
| Steering | Handlebar turn, same as a bike | Lean-to-steer |
| Skills it builds | Balance, counter-steering, braking control | Push-off, forward confidence |
